Wrong. Criminals have broken at least one law by definition. Period. end of logic. Nothing in the definition says they don't follow other laws. A criminal can break only one law follow all the others and still be a criminal. please logic better.

It’s just that crimes share an electrical valence and tend to agglutinate. “For if once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. Once begin upon this downward path, you never know where you are to stop. Many a man has dated his ruin from some murder or other that perhaps he thought little of at the time.” - Thomas DeQuincey, “Murder Considered As One of the Fine Arts”

Oh, and I suppose we're just supposed to take the word of a (checks notes) confessed Englishman opium eater here!

Well, that's unkind.

If you ever met my idiot coworker, you'd consider stabbing him with an oversized crow a kindness to humanity...

We all have that one coworker. Sadly, not enough oversized crows.

I occasionally check in on the couple of websites that track his crap, just to see what he's up to now.

You just made me check Not Another Dime for the first time in years.

justifying the incorrect use of logic by explaining what you believe to be the normal path is still just bad logic. Quoting learned men to strengthen your bad use of logic by declaring some other smart guy had the same thought and said it better doesn't make it better.
